7. Restored the required databases for the MS (serviceManager LDF and MDF)

8. Restored the required databases for the DW (DataMart, StagingAndConfig and Repository)

9. Create the required Virtual Machines using the vhd’s you restored.

10. Present additional VHDs to replicate production drives. Each of the servers had two additional drives for MDF and LDF files respectively.

11. Copy the required MDF and LDF to the necessary locations on both the MS and the DW.

12. You may get an error in the Application Log of your SCSM MS Server regarding the creation of a log file. The first hint that there is a problem is that the service will start and then stop a few seconds later. I had to create the folder structure manually for the creation of the templog.ldf file – Gotcha THREE

13. Restart both MS and DW

14. Once restarted, check the System Center Data Access Service, System Center Management and System Center Management Configuration Services

15. Check for a warning regarding SPN, stating that a SPN must be created. – Gotcha FOUR

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
